combined to create a single still picture rich in gradation.

You can combine 3 pictures with different levels of exposure into a single
picture with rich gradation.

Gives an effect like multi exposure. (up to 4 times equivalent per a single image)

You can set the recording start time, the recording interval and the
number of pictures, and automatically record subjects such as animals
and plants as time elapses.

This enables you to choose whether pictures will be taken with the
Electronic Front Curtain or the electronic shutter.

Automatically detects red-eye caused by the flash and corrects the
image data accordingly.
